The Kansas City Chiefs achieved one of the more remarkable feats in NFL history in 2023 by winning back-to-back Super Bowls. The last team that was able to do it came roughly 20 years ago when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won consecutive titles in 2003 and 2004. Now, Patrick Mahomes and company are looking to do something that has never been done by any team: win three Super Bowls in a row.
Of course, that’s no small task, which was highlighted by Brady himself during an interview with FS1’s Colin Cowherd. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was asked about Kansas City’s chances of reaching new NFL heights with a three-peat and he detailed just how daunting it is to merely win one title let alone three in a row.
“To win a Super Bowl is extremely challenging, as we know,” Brady told Cowherd. “Even when you look at the way the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year against the 49ers, it was an incredible comeback, so to speak. They played really well at the end. The margin for error was razor thin and that’s the way it’s going to be this year for them as well.
He added: “All these teams in the NFL are very competitive. They’re all well-coached. The margin of error is razor-thin. So to win one Super Bowl is extremely difficult. To win two back-to-back what the Chiefs have done, I mean, as we know in the history of the sport, it’s nearly impossible. To win three in a row, there’s a reason why no one’s done it. The reason why they haven’t won three in a row because it’s hard to win one in a row. To put three of those together in back-to-back-to-back seasons with drafting last, a very hard schedule, all the turnover in free agency, guys continuing to be motivated, it’s a big challenge.”
Overall, Brady seemed dubious of the Chiefs — or any team — winning a third consecutive Super Bowl, but wouldn’t put it past them despite the odds being against them.
